"Finally gone!" Umbridge held her face in joy as she returned to the office. She's had enough of Brie's oppression!
"I am the Deputy Minister of Magic. This is the position I have worked hard for many years to get, just because of you!" Umbridge thought of the position she had lost because of the need to place her in Hogwarts. I was so angry that my teeth itched.
But she didn't have time to vent, she had more important things to do. At her feet, a large black mouse slowly transformed into Peter.
"The master asked us to find Ravenclaw's diadem. It was in the Black Lake before, but it disappeared."
"Crown?" Umbridge was puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions, instead trying to think about the possibility of where the crown was.
"Will it be taken away by Odd?" Umbridge said with her eyes wandering. Peter exposed her without any thought.
"Don't do such a stupid thing, put your little thoughts away, Umbridge, the task cannot be completed, you and I will be punished!" Umbridge's face turned pale, she swallowed her saliva, and said with a smile: "I It's just a guess." Peter ignored her and said, "The master guessed that it was taken away by Helena, the daughter of Ravenclaw."
"Helena?" Umbridge, who had done research on Hogwarts, soon remembered this person, the daughter of Ravenclaw, but she was not in Hogwarts.
"It's a ghost. She used to be anonymous and was called Mrs. Grey." Speaking of Mrs. Grey, Umbridge had an impression.
However, it seems that she has not seen Helena since arriving at Hogwarts.
"She disappeared, disappeared with the crown?" Umbridge narrowed her eyes and sneered. Peter nodded, he thought so too.
"We have to ask those ghosts." Umbridge heard Peter's words and thought, she said: "I have no right to order those ghosts. If I am one of the deans, I can order the ghosts of my own college. If I were the vice-principal or the principal, would I have the right to make every ghost obey me!" Peter knew that this was Umbridge seeking power from him, but it was indeed the truth.
But it is very difficult to operate. Now is not the time for the Ministry of Magic to dominate. Because of Bree's barrier, Hogwarts has become free from the threat of major forces.
Umbridge also understood this truth, but she did not let go. She had to do something when Bree left, otherwise she would have nothing after leaving Hogwarts.
She has to do something big!
"I have a way." Peter squinted his eyes and remembered something. Marauder's Map. Harry had given the Marauder's Point Map to Barty Jr., and Barty Jr. was captured by the Ministry of Magic. Later, the Ministry of Magic surrendered to Voldemort, and Barty Jr. was taken away by Voldemort. Barty had the Marauder's Point Map on his person.
Now, because Peter was coming to Hogwarts, Voldemort gave him the Marauder's Map.
"What is this?" Umbridge asked doubtfully as she looked at a parchment that Peter took out.
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!" Peter ignored Umbridge and read out the code word.
"A map!" Umbridge said in surprise as she looked at the routes and names displayed on it. Peter stretched out his dry, black-lined fingers, and pointed at a place - the Whomping Willow.
"We have to find a way to destroy the barrier magic of Hogwarts." Following Peter's words, the lines leading to the outside world were lit up by magic.
"Bree Old's magic did not block the power of the Marauder's Map." This was a surprise, because the Marauder's Map was a magic prop made by intercepting a trace of the power of the Forbidden Forest Contract. Bree did not destroy this connection at the beginning.
"These places are secret passages that could have led to the outside world, but they were blocked by barrier magic. We need to get through them to let people from the outside in." Peter said excitedly.
"But we need some people's help. Just the two of us can't do it." Umbridge also narrowed her eyes excitedly.
"We can find the little wizards from Slytherin. Many of their relatives are in the Ministry of Magic and Death Eaters!" Following Umbridge and Peter's plan, the classes at Hogwarts are also proceeding in an orderly manner. And the outside world... Bree returned to Ode Manor, while Ver and Nico were looking forward to it.
"Sir, you are back!" The moment Bree appeared, Nico came up to meet him. And Vere also twisted his snake body and crawled to Brie's feet.
"Where's Nagini?" Ver asked. There was no Nagini's breath in Brie's pocket, and Ver was also ready to ask Nagini, who had regained consciousness, about the transformation from snake to human.
"I left her at Hogwarts." It didn't take long for Nagini to transform into a human form, and she happened to stay at Hogwarts to help Bree look at the turret and guard the white rose.
Ver didn't think much about it. Nico on the other side pushed Ver and said, "Sir, lunch is ready."... After lunch, in the study room - Brie took the things about Arbor Day prepared by Nico.
Natural trees have been distributed to Oude welfare homes around the world. As long as they wait for Arbor Day, orphans around the world can be organized to plant trees, thereby affecting caring people around them.
At this rate, most of the Muggle gathering places can be planted with some natural trees before the end of the term, so that they can follow the air and affect the surrounding Muggles.
"Let's just follow this plan for the time being. Will other forces affect us?" Nico was in charge of the tree planting, while Tom was still with the Order of the Phoenix.
Nico stayed next to Bree and waited for Bree to ask before saying: "Grindelwald did not make trouble for our tree planting activities, but they are studying our natural trees."
"On the other hand, the same goes for Voldemort."
"As for Dumbledore, he has no time to get involved in our affairs."
"But..." Nico frowned and said, "Perhaps we did it too quickly and have a relationship with the Malfoy family, so the Muggles have noticed us." Muggles...Brie tapped the table lightly to show that Due to his dissatisfaction, it would be a big trouble for Muggles to stop him.
so.
"We have to set up a public welfare company in the Muggle community, start borrowing money from Muggle banks, and then turn the welfare of tree planting in the orphanage into a business with considerable profits..." We can't let Muggles not find out anything, so we have to let them Find out something and...
"If Muggle executives contact the company, follow them and let them participate." It is human nature not to let go until there is benefit.
"Nico, prepare the title deed and certificate for the orphanage. I have to go to the Muggle community."
"Understood, my lord." Nico said and left Bree's study. Tom has his own affairs, so Bree can only handle this matter by herself.
Bree, who is already 1.78 meters tall, only needs some transformation skills to look like a young and promising business man.
Young people love to have weird ideas. When he arrived in London, England, Bree made an appointment with the executives of a London bank and quickly showed him proof of hundreds of welfare homes located around the world.
And he came up with his own business brief to prove that he had the idea of using public welfare to make profits.
"loan!"
"Of course, of course...it's the Natural Tree Charity Foundation, no problem at all. I'll go and ask for instructions immediately. You can leave your contact information and we will notify you of the approval information." When the bank executive learned that Brie wanted a loan He immediately agreed to apply for a loan for him when he carried out a large number of pounds for international charity activities.
And told him there would be news within three days. After leaving London, Bree went to the house where he previously lived in the suburbs of London, where he planned to spend the past few days.
After obtaining the corporate loan, talent recruitment begins. It would be impossible for Bri alone to organize tree planting activities in welfare homes all over the world.
"Perhaps we can have the directors of the welfare homes join forces with local officials to carry out joint activities, and at the same time provide some foreseeable benefits." The benefits may not necessarily be given, but they must be seen.
...Inside Hogwarts - McGonagall frowned, because since Bree left, Slytherin House has become somewhat disobedient.
And now McGonagall has not found a suitable acting dean, so she can only let Slytherin make small moves.
"Dongdongdong!"
"Please come in." The office door was pushed open and Draco walked in.
"Principal McGonagall." This was the second time Draco came to see McGonagall. He still remembered the first time when Harry gave away a dragon in the first grade, but he himself also had points deducted.
But this time it's different.
"You should have noticed the recent developments in Slytherin Academy." Draco asked cautiously. Mag nodded.
"I'm having a headache about this." McGonagall's expression was a little serious, but her eyes were filled with relief. At least it wasn't the whole Slytherin that was in trouble.
"They hid it from me." Draco said, "I only saw some problems."
"Their schedule is a bit weird. Many senior students often go out for night outings. This is obviously the way of stupid lions." Draco curled his lips, but quickly looked at McGonagall carefully.
McGonagall didn't pay attention to Draco's comments about Gryffindor, and she frowned. Night trip? This is not the Slytherin style.
"Can you help me with one thing, Mr. Malfoy?" McGonagall looked at Draco expectantly. Draco shook his head.
"I'm sorry. Before Brie left, she asked me to study hard and not get involved in anything."
"Being able to tell you about abnormalities is my limit." The little snake's clever self-preservation was played very smoothly by Draco.
Mag pursed his lips and said nothing. Draco saw this and said consciously: "Then I will leave, Principal McGonagall." Draco left McGonagall's office.
Mag sighed. It seems that I need to ask Snape about this matter. McGonagall thought to herself, and got up and headed to the underground level... Unfortunately, Snape didn't have much to do about it. The little snakes moved quietly, and as long as they didn't admit it, it would be hard to catch them.
.........Time flies faster with the arrival of the spring breeze, and the warm weather always makes people feel depressed. After a nap, dusk is coming.
Under the sunset, we came to Hogwarts Castle on March 10th. In the orange-red window, small figures shuttled back and forth.
"Oh, Professor Trelawney is so awesome, she saw it again!" Ron, Harry and others came out of the Divination classroom dissatisfied.
Harry said helplessly: "At least Trelawney didn't say death, right?" Hermione on the side was still thinking about Trelawney's prophecy just now.
Her eyes lit up.
"Perhaps this prophecy is not useless."
"Are you crazy, Hermione, that..."
"Shut up, Wes." Hermione snorted, and she said: "Trelawney said that the deepest darkness of the Death Eaters is still lurking. It is suppressed by a gate. When the wizarding world gains hope, it will also Be released, be alert, be alert!" Hermione said sharply: "This must be saying that Voldemort is hiding his malice and keeping his bad thoughts behind the door to deceive everyone. When he succeeds, he will We should be wary of Voldemort's declaration!" Hearing Hermione's words, the young wizards around them all exclaimed, because most of them were Gryffindor wizards, so many people agreed with Hermione's words.
"Yes, Voldemort must be like this!" Ron took the lead in rebelling. Neville also came over, and he supported Hermione's words.
Harry scratched his nose and responded. But when Draco comes over -
"Don't be silly, naive Gryffindor."
"What are you doing, Malfoy!" Draco glanced at Ron and mocked: "Don't listen to the wind and rain, please use your melon-sized brain to think."
"What do you mean, Malfoy?" Hermione looked at Draco seriously. Draco snorted twice and said, "Do you think wizards are fools and won't consider Voldemort's previous behavior?"
"If he dares to say something like that in such a spotlight, then he must do it, otherwise he will be the first to finish."
"A hypocrite pretends to be a gentleman all his life, then he is a gentleman. Sometimes you can't say nonsense, especially for leaders like them. If they say something but don't do it, they themselves will be afraid of the consequences."
"So, when you say something, you have to do it." Draco looked at Ron and then at Harry.
"After all, they are not children anymore and cannot go back on their word."
"By the way, by the way, Voldemort has more power than the Saints and the Order of the Phoenix combined." With a smile, Draco turned and left, heading towards Bree's corner tower, although Bree did not come back. , but Nagini is there, and Nagini can change back to human form today, and Draco wants to see the Blood Curse.
"What does he mean?" Ron looked at Harry and Hermione confused. Harry understood the meaning of Draco's words, but he didn't know how to express it.
Hermione said: "He is saying that if Voldemort dares to say it, he must do it. If he doesn't do it, countless people will force him to do it. Now is the evidence." Voldemort has more power than the Saints and the Order of the Phoenix combined. This is something that no one could have imagined. Yes, Draco obviously has inside information.
"Perhaps, if Voldemort does what he says, it will be a good thing for wizards." Hermione whispered. Neville and Ron on the side widened their eyes and were about to refute Hermione.
Hermione took the lead and said: "But Voldemort is still pure-blooded. Even if he relaxes restrictions and allows talented Muggles or mixed-bloods to join his camp, those half-bloods and Muggle wizards with average talents cannot. shelter."
“And this part is the most.”
"Ah, then why did Malfoy say that Voldemort has more power than Dumbledore and Grindelwald combined?" Harry asked confused.
Hermione frowned.
"Voldemort hasn't set a pass mark for talent yet, has he? Maybe he's trying to accept them one by one now. Only when he succeeds will he start purging the inferior wizards in his eyes."
"And during this period of time, those wizards who know that they are not talented enough will definitely work hard for Voldemort to prove their abilities..." This is the brilliance of Voldemort, which shows that as long as outstanding wizards join Voldemort's camp, The wizards will have a sense of crisis and will not be too lazy to drag down Voldemort.
Hermione lowered her head, and she suddenly realized that Voldemort's behavior was understandable, and kindness in the current wizarding world was self-destructive.
"Let's not talk about this. We are only fifth graders. Let's think carefully about this year's junior wizard level examination. Principal McGonagall revealed that even if the situation is critical, the level examination to test the wizard's ability will not be cancelled."...
